You a) need to run JSGME once before you can use any mod (JSGME will then create the MODS folder by itself) and b) should maintain the same folder structure WITHIN the Mods folder as you would have if you wouldn't use JSGME but simply replaced files, aka ... MODS/Data/cfg etc

That explains it pretty well I think.

And just to be sure, double check all your "MOD" folders and see that the next folder down is named "Data" if it is then its OK, sometimes when you unpack a .rar it will create a folder with the same name as the mod but the actual mod folder is inside it. So better check as i said before you drop any mods in to JSGME

Sometimes RAR's unpack's like this=no good
Some Cool Mod for SH4/Some Cool Mod for SH4/Data/Menue...etc.

Should look like this=good
Some Cool Mod for SH4/Data/Menue...etc.

must i start JSGME and then start sh4??
couse i dont start JSGME when i play sh4
and my filename in the mod map is: parab's tweaked air strikes => Data => Cfg => airstrike.cfg
is this correct?

If you have mods in JSGME that are in the "Activated Mods" window you don't need to start it every time. It will "inject"the mods once you transfer them in to that "Activated Mods" window and they will stay "injected" until you remove them.

parab's tweaked air strikes => Data => Cfg => airstrike.cfg

That looks correct to me.

And you say you don't see the difference...well that particular mod will take some time to spot as it is a subtle game play mod, not a graphic mod or anything you would spot directly.

My mods work with JSGME just fine. They've been downloaded a couple of hundred times and so far noone had problems with it.

As others have already mentioned, make sure you've copied the "ParaB's..."-folder into the correct MODS folder. You should now see it in the JSGME interface and be able to install/deinstall it.

You only need to install a mod via JSGME ONCE and you don't need to run JSGME every time you play SH4.
